This Project Grant award of $285,816 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) will support research to enhance understanding of ADP-ribosylation (ADPR) and its role in HIV-1 latency and reactivation. The awardee, The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco, will conduct biochemical, proteomic, and cellular assays to identify global proteomic changes to ADPR during HIV-1 latency and reactivation,...
This $775,391 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) aims to investigate the role of the human protein galectin-9 in HIV persistence and the establishment of the long-term viral reservoir. The primary awardee, Vitalant Research Institute, will conduct in vitro studies to elucidate the molecular and immunological mechanisms underlying galectin-9's impact on the HIV reservoir. Additionally,...
This Project Grant award for $1,314,572.00, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports research aimed at developing a cure strategy for HIV-1 using CD4-mimetic compounds (CD4MCs) and CD4-induced antibodies (CD4I Abs). The research, conducted by Yale University, leverages the recent discovery of a new class of indoline CD4MCs that display improved antiviral potency and breadth...

The goal is to optimize strategies for eradicating the persistent reservoir of HIV-infected cells and achieve...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying T cell dysfunction and HIV persistence in persons with HIV (PWH). The $500,000 award, effective from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029, will support research conducted by The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to identify and...
This $814,790 Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855 - Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research) supports research to uncover the immune mechanisms underlying hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen clearance, which can lead to a clinical cure for chronic HBV infection. The principal investigators at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) will leverage mouse models and clinical samples from HBV patients to conduct a...
This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $884,322 to support research into the mechanisms that create and sustain the HIV reservoir - a population of latently infected cells that persists during suppressive antiretroviral therapy and prevents a cure for HIV. The research team, led by Dr. Reeves and collaborators at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer...
This Project Grant award of $1,454,386.00 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), supports fundamental research to better understand the epigenetic regulation of the HIV-1 viral RNA cap. The research aims to define the structural basis of HIV cap hypermethylation and its linkage to modulating host innate immune signaling, with the goal of developing new treatments to neutralize deleterious...

This Project Grant award of $856,202 was provided by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), which oversees the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) federal grant program. The award will fund a 5-year study led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate the role of IL-10 and IFN signaling in controlling the HIV reservoir and achieving functional HIV cure. The project aims to determine if enhancing IL-10 and type I interferon activity could be a potential strategy for HIV functional cure, by analyzing longitudinal samples and evaluating the effects on HIV-specific T cell function. Findings from this work may inform the safety and timing of future interventions involving these cytokines and provide a platform for testing additional therapeutic targets.
